I have read around here about some people sending in their applications earliert then the recommended 120 days and they all got receipts so don't anticipate any issues with that. As far as photo's are concerned you don't have to send any photos with your efiled Ead since you will be called for a finger printing and photo session but for AP you need to send pic's and don't forget to write your A# behind the photos. Hope this helps. Read the link below for more info on what you need to send for AP and for EAD you will get a list of doc's they require once you are done filing online.

Friends...
I am considering move to a different state in few months (work from home) keeping my existing job for health reasons... My employer has been nice to me.. so Iam not considering changing job for now... My concerns,
1) Will this situation cause compulsary RFE? Anything I need to be careful of?
2) Do I need to invoke AC21 or just amend my H1 or start using EAD? What is advisable... Any personal experience??
3) Can I claim moving expense (when filing taxes) if moved with same job??
Thanks...

My I-485 was filed in month of August 2008 under EB2 .I was laid off from my I-485 sponsoring employer(A) in month of August 09 and i took another Job with employer (B) in same field in month of Sep 09. I did not file AC21 as my previous employer's(A) attorney advised not necessary to file AC21.Now I am getting new offer from another employer(C) in same position but this new employer(C) wants me to file AC21 .
What are my options now? Should i file AC21 for employer (B) first and then file AC21 for employer (C) or should i directly file AC21 for employer (C).
I will greatly appreciate your reply.

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks

Sorry, I could not locate the thread about address change. I am moving at the end of this month to a new address in a neighboring suburb. I have an approved I-140 and a pending I-485 with AP and EAD in hand.
My wife has a pending I-140 and a pending I-485 with AP and EAD in hand.
Is filling an online AR-11 sufficient? Does this update our I-485 and other pending/approved applications automatically. Please advise.
Thanks.

Its at the discretion of the officer at POE.......I was asked for my EAD even when I had a valid H1B and last time when I had travelled on AP I was asked for my EAD......
why don't you apply for duplicate documents with the USCIS?
above is just my experience.......

You can live in US legally beyound your current H1B I-94.
As long as your AOS (I-485) is Pending, Ofcoure u need EAD for work.
Hello Friends,
I have utilized AC-21 and moved onto another employer and I will be using my EAD. I have an I-94, from the I-797 of my previous employer, which expires in May 2008.
The question I have is if we have utilized AC-21 can we still live here in US past the I-94 date? Will the stay be considered legal? I ask because as far as I know when a person is on H1B he can not afford to go past the I-94 validity date, does the same apply with an AOS applicant?

Hi,
I just got my H1B visa and I am working. My wife is currently on F-1/OPT. We are both in the USA. Could you please advise me what is the required documents/steps to apply for her for H4 visa? are there any inf on the web? can I do that myself?
Thank you,
John
Like PMAT mentioned, I-539 is to be used, and you can do it by yourself, if you'd like. Download the latest form from http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/ (immigration forms).
You will need, I-129, photocopy of your passport, your I-94 (current), Photocopy of Marriage certificate.

This author Angela Junck seems to be a good media support. Please look at her article below:
On the other side of the debate are immigrants who are clamoring for a genuine legalization program that integrates newcomers into civic life; in short, granting newcomers immediate access to green cards. It's the simplest, fairest and most humane way of integrating immigrants.

My attorney has submitted the documents for I140/485 concurrent filing. UPS has messed up and they lost my documents.It contains original documents for applying I140.
I am wondering if there is any chance that I can send photocopy of documents to USCIS explaining them the situation as I do not want to miss the chance of deadline Aug 17th. Could anyone please suggest me? Did anyone experience the same situation before.
Thanks.
I don't know the answer....but I suggest community to NOT to use UPS...since I also lost my documents couple of times (while sending to attorney). I stopped using it

I am interested as well. We can control our own destiny. What kind of issues can one get in RFE's for 485 that we wont be able to answer and the lawyer will? We need a copy of the Labor and 140. Don't we? We can file for AP & EAD now along with 485 or use the receipt number to file for AP & EAD later.

This question is for an attorney:
My spouse's case is this: She has applied for AOS I-485 (India) based on an underlying EB3 I-140 (PD feb. 2007) petition during July 2007. At that time she had also applied for an EB2 NIW self petition, which was recently approved in April 2009.
Two issues arise now:
a) The PD date of the newly approved I-140 is August 2007.How do we inform USCIS to capture previously approved EB3 I-140's PD. She has used AC21 to port to same or similar job, but he previous EB3 I-140 has not been revoked. Is it possible to capture previous PD?
b) Do we have to send new I-485's or can we ask USCIS to interile newly approved EB2 NIW I-140 to the already submitted I-485s. If yes, how do we do that ?
Thanks for the help.

1. The short answer is: Yes, you can most likely accept a one year intra-company transfer to India, and then transfer back to a position in the US with Company B without necessarily lengthening your GC process.
2. BUT, in order to file for AOS based on the existing approved LC/I-140 (EB2 or EB3??), you would have to return to the US to work in the same position at the same location for which the underlying LC was approved.
3. Alternatively, if your position in India meets the USCIS definition of managerial or executive, and you transfer back to the US to take on a position that also qualifies as managerial or executive, Compny B could file an EB1 I-140 on your behalf (maintaining the priority date of the prior I-140), thus substantially shortening or eliminating the quota wait.
4. If you cannot qualify in the EB1 category, and Company B transfers you back to a new position or new location in the US. You can retain your original priority date, but the company will have to apply for a new PERM LC and then file a new I-140 for you.
[NOTE: The above analysis assumes you (and your spouse, if any) were born in India and subject to the immigrant visa quota for India.]
